  • Mia: I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.

  • The Wolf: That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

  • [Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie's kitchen]

    Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?

    Jimmie: Knock it off, Julie.

    Jules: [pause] What?

    Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage.

    Jules: Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that...

    Jimmie: [interupting] No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?

    Jules: Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no...

    Jimmie: [cutting him off again; getting angry] Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?

    Jules: [pause] No. I didn't.

    Jimmie: You know WHY you didn't see that sign?

    Jules: Why?

    Jimmie: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead niggers ain't my fucking business, that's why!

  • Jules: Whether or not what we experienced was an According to Hoyle miracle is insignificant. What is significant is that I felt the touch of God. God got involved.

  • Jules: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... stop right there. Eatin' a bitch out, and givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't even the same fuckin' thing.

    Vincent: It's not. It's the same ballpark.

    Jules: Ain't no fuckin' ballpark neither. Now look, maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but, you know, touchin' his wife's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her Holiest of Holies, ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Look, foot massages don't mean shit.

    Vincent: Have you ever given a foot massage?

    Jules: [scoffs] Don't be tellin' me about foot massages. I'm the foot fuckin' master.

    Vincent: Given a lot of 'em?

    Jules: Shit yeah. I got my technique down and everything, I don't be ticklin' or nothin'.

    Vincent: Would you give a guy a foot massage?

    [Jules gives Vincent a long look, realizing he's been set up]

    Jules: Fuck you.

    Vincent: You give them a lot?

    Jules: Fuck you.

    Vincent: You know, I'm getting kinda tired. I could use a foot massage myself.

    Jules: Man, you best back off, I'm gittin' a little pissed here.

  • Jules: [talking about Mia, Marsellus Wallace's wife] I think her biggest deal was she starred in a pilot.

    Vincent: Pilot? What's a pilot?

    Jules: Well, you know the shows on TV?

    Vincent: I don't watch TV.

    Jules: Yeah, but, you are aware that there's an invention called television, and on this invention they show shows, right?

    Vincent: Yeah.

    Jules: Well, the way they pick TV shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that one show to the people who pick shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they want to make more shows. Some get chosen and become television programs. Some don't, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing.

  • The Wolf: You're... Jimmie, right? This is your house?

    Jimmie: Sure is.

  • Paul: So, I hear you're taking Mia out.

    Vincent: At Marsellus's request.

    Paul: You met Mia yet?

    Vincent: No.

    [Jules and Paul laugh]

    Vincent: What's so fucking funny?

    Jules: I gotta piss.

    [exits]

    Vincent: Look, I'm not stupid. It's the Big Man's wife. I'm gonna sit across from her, chew my food with my mouth closed, laugh at her fucking jokes, and that's it.

  • Marsellus: You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't.

  • Pumpkin: The way it is now, you're taking the same risk as when you rob a bank. You take more of a risk, banks are easier. You don't even need a gun in a federal bank. I mean, they're insured, why should they give a fuck? I heard of this one guy, walks into a bank with a portable phone. He gives the phone to the teller, a guy on the other end of the line says, we've got this guy's little girl, if you don't give him all your money, we're gonna kill her.

    Yolanda: Did it work?

    Pumpkin: Fucking-A right, it worked. That's what I'm saying. Knucklehead walks into a bank with a telephone! Not a pistol, not a shotgun, but a fucking phone. Cleans the place out, doesn't even lift a fucking finger.

    Yolanda: Did they hurt the little girl?

    Pumpkin: I don't know, there probably never was a little girl in the first place. The point of the story isn't the little girl, the point of the story is, they robbed a bank with a telephone.

  • Yolanda: You want to rob banks?

    Pumpkin: I'm not saying I want to rob banks, I'm just illustrating that if we did, it'd be easier than what we've been doing.

    Yolanda: No more liquor stores?

    Pumpkin: What have we been talking about? Yeah, no more liquor stores. Besides, it ain't the giggle it used to be. Too many foreigners own liquor stores these days. Vietnamese, Koreans, they don't even speak fucking English. You tell them, empty out the register, they don't know what the fuck you're talking about. They make it too personal, one of these gook fuckers is gonna make us kill him.

    Yolanda: I'm not gonna kill anybody.

    Pumpkin: I don't want to kill anybody either. But they'll probably put us in a situation where it's us or them. And if it's not the gooks, it's these old fucking Jews who've owned the store for fifteen fucking generations, you've got Grampa Irving sitting behind the counter with a fucking Magnum in his hand. Try walking into one of those places with nothing but a phone, see how far you get.

  • Yolanda: This place? A coffee shop?

    Pumpkin: Why not? Nobody ever robs restaurants. Bars, liquor stores, gas stations... you get your head blown off sticking up one of them. Restaurants on the other hand, you catch with their pants down. They're not expecting to get robbed. Not as expectant anyway.

    Yolanda: I bet you could cut down on the hero factor in a place like this.

    Pumpkin: Right, just like banks, these places are insured. Manager? He don't give a fuck. He just wants to get you out the door before you start plugging the diners. Waitresses? Fucking forget it! No way they're taking a bullet for the register. Busboys? Some wetback getting paid a dollar-fifty an hour, really give a fuck you're stealing from the owner? See, I got the idea, last liquor store we held up, all the customers kept coming in?

    Yolanda: Yeah.

    Pumpkin: And you got the idea of taking their wallets. Now that was a good idea.

    Yolanda: Thank you.

    Pumpkin: Made more from the wallets than we did from the register.

    Yolanda: Yes, we did.

    Pumpkin: A lot of customers come into a restaurant.

    Yolanda: A lot of wallets.

    Pumpkin: Pretty smart, eh?

    Yolanda: Pretty smart.

  • Jody: [after Mia survives an overdose from an adrenaline injection] That was pretty fucking trippy...

    [laughs]

  • The Wolf: You must be Jules, which would make you Vincent. Let's get down to brass tacks, gentlemen. If I was informed correctly, the clock is ticking, is that right, Jimmie?

    Jimmie: Uh, one hundred percent.

    The Wolf: Your wife... Bonnie comes home at 9:30 in the AM, is that right?

    Jimmie: Uh-huh.

    The Wolf: I was led to believe that if she comes home and finds us here, she'd wouldn't appreciate it none too much?

    Jimmie: [laughing] She wouldn't at that.

    The Wolf: That gives us exactly... forty minutes to get the fuck out of Dodge. Which, if you do what I say when I say it, should be plenty. Now, you've got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.

  • The Wolf: Now boys, listen up. We're going to a place called Monster Joe's Truck and Tow. I'll drive the tainted car. Jules, you ride with me. Vincent, you follow in my Acura. We run across the path of any John Q. Laws, nobody does a fucking thing unless I do it first. What did I just say?

    Jules: Don't do shit unless.

    The Wolf: Unless what?

    Jules: Unless you do it first.

    The Wolf: Spoken like a true prodigy. How about you, Lash LaRue? You think you can keep your spurs from jinglin' and janglin'?

    Vincent: Look, Mr. Wolf, my gun went off, I don't know why, and now you're helping us out of the situation. I'm cool with it, all right?

    The Wolf: Fair enough. Now I drive real fucking fast, so keep up. I get my car back any differently than when I gave it, Monster Joe's gonna be disposing of two bodies.

  • Jules: We should have shotguns for this kind of deal.

    Vincent: How many up there?

    Jules: Three or four.

    Vincent: That's countin' our guy?

    Jules: Not sure.

    Vincent: So that means there could be up to five guys up there?

    Jules: It's possible.

    Vincent: We should have fuckin' shotguns.

  • [after Butch saves Marsellus from rapists]

    Butch: You okay?

    Marsellus: Naw man. I'm pretty fuckin' far from okay.

    Butch: What now?

    Marsellus: What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

    Butch: I meant what now between me and you?

    Marsellus: Oh, that what now. I tell you what now between me and you. There is no me and you. Not no more.

  • Pumpkin: Garçon! Coffee!

    [the waitress approaches the table and refills Pumpkin's cup]

    Waitress: 'Garçon' means boy.

  • Jules: Now Yolanda, we're not gonna do anything stupid, are we?

    Yolanda: You don't hurt him.

    Jules: Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like?

    Yolanda: Cool?

    Jules: What?

    Yolanda: He's cool.

    Jules: Correctamundo. And that's what we're gonna be. We're gonna be cool. Now Ringo, I'm gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your gun, and sit your ass down. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

    [Ringo sits down opposite Jules]

    Yolanda: All right, now you let him go.

    Jules: Yolanda, I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when motherfuckers get scared, that's when motherfuckers accidentally get shot.

    Yolanda: You just know, you touch him, you die.

    Jules: Well, that seems to be the situation. But I don't want that. And you don't want that. And Ringo here *definitely* doesn't want that.

  • Man #4: [Burst out of the bathroom with his gun] Die you motherfuckers!

    [He empties his entire gun, hitting nothing but air]

  • Jules: Look, just because I don't be givin' no man a foot massage don't make it right for Marsellus to throw Antwone into a glass motherfuckin' house, fuckin' up the way the nigger talks. Motherfucker do that shit to me, he better paralyze my ass, 'cause I'll kill the motherfucker, know what I'm sayin'?

    Vincent: I ain't saying it's right. But you're saying a foot massage don't mean nothing, and I'm saying it does. Now look, I've given a million ladies a million foot massages, and they all meant something. We act like they don't, but they do, and that's what's so fucking cool about them. There's a sensuous thing going on where you don't talk about it, but you know it, she knows it, fucking Marsellus knew it, and Antwone should have fucking better known better. I mean, that's his fucking wife, man. He can't be expected to have a sense of humor about that shit. You know what I'm saying?

    Jules: That's an interesting point. Come on, let's get into character.

  • Marsellus: [right before Butch purposely runs into him with a car] Motherfucker.

  • Vincent: Want some bacon?

    Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.

    Vincent: Are you Jewish?

    Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.

    Vincent: Why not?

    Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

    Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.

    Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

    Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.

    Jules: I don't eat dog either.

    Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

    Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?

    Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

  • Jules: [Vincent and Jules are cleaning the inside of the car which is covered in blood] Oh, man, I will never forgive your ass for this shit. This is some fucked-up repugnant shit.

    Vincent: Jules, did you ever hear the philosophy that once a man admits that he's wrong that he is immediately forgiven for all wrongdoings? Have you ever heard that?

    Jules: Get the fuck out my face with that shit! The motherfucker that said that shit never had to pick up itty-bitty pieces of skull on account of your dumb ass.

    Vincent: I got a threshold, Jules. I got a threshold for the abuse that I will take. Now, right now, I'm a fuckin' race car, right, and you got me the red. And I'm just sayin', I'm just sayin' that it's fuckin' dangerous to have a race car in the fuckin' red. That's all. I could blow.

    Jules: Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?

    Vincent: Yeah, I'm ready to blow.

    Jules: Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone! IN FACT, WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOIN' IN THE BACK? YOU'RE THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SHOULD BE ON BRAIN DETAIL! We're fuckin' switchin'! I'm washin' the windows, and you're pickin' up this nigger's skull!

  • Lance: [answering the phone] Hello.

    Vincent: Lance! It's Vincent. I'm in big fuckin' trouble, man. I'm coming to your house.

    Lance: Whoa. Whoa. Hold your horses, man. What's the problem?

    Vincent: I've got this chick, she fuckin' O.D.in' on me!

    Lance: Well, don't bring her here! I'm not even fuckin' joking with you, man! Do not be bringing some fucked-up pooh-bah to my house!

    Vincent: No choice.

    Lance: She's O.D.in'?

    Vincent: She's fuckin' dyin' on me, man!

    Lance: Okay, then you bite the fuckin' bullet, take her to a hospital and call a lawyer.

    Vincent: Negative.

    Lance: This is not my fuckin' problem, man! You fucked her up, you fuckin' deal with this!

  • Jody: [seeing Mia on the floor] Who's she?

    Lance: Look, go to the fridge and get the thing with the O.D. adrenalin shot.

    Jody: What's wrong with her?

    Vincent: She's O.D.ing!

    Jody: Get her the hell outta her!

    LanceVincent: GET THE SHOT!

    Jody: Fuck you! Fuck you, too!

    Vincent: What a fuckin' bitch!

    Lance: You just keep talking to her, all right? She's getting the shot, I'm gonna get my little black medical book.

    Vincent: What the fuck do you need a medical book for?

    Lance: I've never had to give an adrenalin shot.

    Vincent: You never give an adrenalin shot?

    Lance: I've never had to, all right! I don't go joy-poppin' with bubble-gummers! My friends can handle their highs!

    Vincent: GET THE SHOT!

  • Vincent: [Lance is looking for a medical book] Hurry up, Lance! We're losing her!

    Lance: I'm lookin' as fast as I can!

    Jody: [to Vincent] What's he looking for?

    Vincent: I dunno. Some book.

    Jody: [to Lance] What're you looking for?

    Lance: A little black medical book!

    Jody: What're you looking for?

    Lance: A little black fuckin' medical book! It's like a textbook they give to nurses.

    Jody: I never saw no medical book.

    Lance: Trust me, I have one.

    Jody: Well, if it's so important, why don't you keep it with the shot?

    Lance: I DON'T KNOW! STOP BOTHERING ME!

    Jody: Listen, while you're looking for it, that girl's gonna die on our carpet! You're never gonna find anything in this mess!

    Lance: I'm gonna fuckin' kill you IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP!

    Vincent: [from the other room] STOP ARGUING AND GET IN HERE!

  • Vincent: [to Marvin] Why the fuck didn't you tell us somebody was in the bathroom? Slipped your mind? Did you forget that somebody was in there with a goddamn hand cannon?

  • Butch: So we cool?

    Marsellus: Yeah, we cool. Two things. Don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and Mr. Soon-To-Be-Living-The-Rest-of-His-Short-Ass-Life-In-Agonizing-Pain Rapist here. It ain't nobody else's business. Two: you leave town tonight, right now. And when you're gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your L.A. privileges. Deal?

    Butch: Deal.

    Marsellus: Get your ass out of here.

  • Vincent: That's a pretty fucking good milkshake. I don't know if it's worth five dollars but it's pretty fucking good.

  • [Marsellus is telling Butch to take a dive]

    Marsellus: The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.

  • [Butch comes up beside Vincent at the bar]

    Butch: You lookin at something, friend?

    Vincent: You ain't my friend, Palooka.

    Butch: What's that?

    Vincent: I think you heard me just fine, Punchy.

  • Mia: Don't you hate that?

    Vincent: What?

    Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?

    Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.

    Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.

  • Lance: You're going to give her an injection of adrenaline directly to her heart. But she's got, uh, breastplate...

    [taps Mia's chest]

    Lance: So you gotta pierce through that. So what you have to do is, you have to bring the needle down in a stabbing motion.

    [demonstrates]

    Vincent: I-I gotta stab her three times?

    Lance: No, you don't gotta fucking stab her three times! You gotta stab her once, but it's gotta be hard enough to break through her breastplate into her heart, and then once you do that, you press down on the plunger.

    Vincent: What happens after that?

    Lance: I'm kinda curious about that myself...

  • Marsellus: I'm prepared to scour the the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want a nigger hiding in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his ass.

  • Butch: I think I cracked a rib.

    Fabienne: Giving me oral pleasure?

    Butch: No, retard, from the fight.

  • Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?

    Butch: It's a chopper, baby.

    Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?

    Butch: It's Zed's.

    Fabienne: Who's Zed?

    Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

  • Captain Koons: The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

  • Esmeralda: What is your name?

    Butch: Butch.

    Esmeralda: What does it mean?

    Butch: I'm American, honey. Our names don't mean shit.

  • [Jules and Vincent take Marvin with them in their car and Vincent's gun goes off and blows Marvin's head off]

    Vincent: Whoa!

    Jules: What the fuck's happening, man? Ah, shit man!

    Vincent: Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face.

    Jules: Why the fuck did you do that!

    Vincent: Well, I didn't mean to do it, it was an accident!

    Jules: Oh man I've seen some crazy ass shit in my time...

    Vincent: Chill out, man. I told you it was an accident. You probably went over a bump or something.

    Jules: Hey, the car didn't hit no motherfucking bump!

    Vincent: Hey, look man, I didn't mean to shoot the son of a bitch. The gun went off. I don't know why.

    Jules: Well look at this fucking mess, man. We're on a city street in broad daylight here!

    Vincent: I don't believe it.

    Jules: Well believe it now, motherfucker! We gotta get this car off the road! You know cops tend to notice shit like you're driving a car drenched in fucking blood.

    Vincent: Just take it to a friendly place, that's all.

    Jules: This is the Valley, Vincent. Marsellus ain't got no friendly places in the Valley.

    Vincent: Well Jules, this ain't my fucking town, man!

    Jules: Shit!

    [Jules dials a number on his cell phone]

    Vincent: What you doin'?

    Jules: I'm calling Jimmie, my old partner. He lives in Toluca Lake.

    Vincent: Where's Toluca Lake?

    Jules: It's just over the hill here over by Burbank Studios. If Jimmie's ass ain't home, I don't know what the fuck we're going to do, man. 'Cause I ain't got no other partners in 8-1-8.

    [into the phone]

    Jules: Hey Jimmie, yo! How you doin', man? It's Jules. Listen up man. Me and my homeboy are in serious fucking shit. We're in a car and we gotta get off the road, pronto. I need to use your garage for a couple of hours.

  • Vincent: Thank you. Mind if I shoot it up here?

    Lance: Hey, mi casa su casa.

  • Lance: Are you calling me on the cellular phone? I don't know you. Who is this? Don't come here, I'm hanging up the phone! Prank caller, prank caller!

  • Jules: I don't wanna hear about no motherfuckin' ifs. All I wanna hear from your ass is, You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in there, chill them niggers out and wait for the cavalry which should be coming directly.

    Marsellus: You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in there, chill them niggers out and wait for the Wolf who should be coming directly.

  • The Wolf: Jimmie, lead the way. Boys, get to work.

    Vincent: A please would be nice.

    The Wolf: Come again?

    Vincent: I said a please would be nice.

    The Wolf: Get it straight buster - I'm not here to say please, I'm here to tell you what to do and if self-preservation is an instinct you possess you'd better fucking do it and do it quick. I'm here to help - if my help's not appreciated then lotsa luck, gentlemen.

    Jules: No, Mr. Wolf, it ain't like that, your help is definitely appreciated.

    Vincent: I don't mean any disrespect, I just don't like people barking orders at me.

    The Wolf: If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the fucking car.

  • Jimmie: I can't believe this is the same car.

    The Wolf: Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet.

  • Vincent: Jules, if you give that fuckin' nimrod fifteen hundred dollars, I'm gonna shoot him on general principles.

  • Jules: I want you to go in that bag, and find my wallet.

    Pumpkin: Which one is it?

    Jules: It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker.

  • Jules: I'm not giving you that money. I'm buying something from you. Wanna know what I'm buyin' Ringo?

    Pumpkin: What?

    Jules: Your life. I'm givin' you that money so I don't have to kill your ass. You read the Bible?

    Pumpkin: Not regularly.

    Jules: There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." Now... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

  • [cleaning their bloody hands]

    Jules: Fuck, nigga, what the fuck did you do to his towel?

    Vincent: I was dryin' my hands.

    Jules: You're supposed to wash 'em first!

    Vincent: You watched me wash 'em.

    Jules: I watched you get 'em wet.

    Vincent: I was washing 'em. But this shit's hard to get off. Maybe if I had Lava or something, I coulda done a better job.

    Jules: I used the same fuckin' soap you did and when I got finished, the towel didn't look like no goddamn Maxi-Pad!

  • Mia: [after snorting what she thinks is coke; it's heroin] I said God Damn! God Damn...

    [whispering]

    Mia: ...God damn...

  • Jules: If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

  • The Wolf: You guys look like... What do they look like, Jimmie?

    Jimmie: Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks.

    Jules: Ha-ha-ha. They're your clothes, motherfucker.

  • Lance: [handing Vincent the needle] Here, I'll tell you what to do.

    Vincent: No no no no man, man I ain't giving her... You... you, you're gonna give her the shot...

    Lance: No, you're gonna give her the shot...

    Vincent: I ain't givin' her the shot...

    Lance: Well, I ain't givin' her the shot!

    Vincent: I never done this before!

    Lance: Yeah, I ain't ever done it before either, alright? I ain't starting now! Look, you brought her here, and that means that you're giving her the shot. The day that I bring an OD-ing bitch over to your house, then I give her the shot. Give her the shot.

    Vincent: [taking the needle] Give it to me.

    Jody: [handing him the marker] Here.

    Vincent: [Taking the marker] Gimme that.

  • The Wolf: You see that, young lady? Respect. Respect for one's elders gives character.

    Raquel: I have character.

    The Wolf: Just because you are a character doesn't mean that you have character.

  • Butch: That's how you're gonna beat 'em, Butch. They keep underestimating you.

  • Zed: Bring out the Gimp.

    Maynard: Gimp's sleeping.

    Zed: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?

  • Jules: This was Divine Intervention! You know what "divine intervention" is?

    Vincent: Yeah, I think so. That means God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.

    Jules: Yeah, man, that's what it means. That's exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.

    Vincent: I think we should be going now.

    Jules: Don't do that! Don't you fucking do that! Don't blow this shit off! What just happened was a fucking miracle!

    Vincent: Chill the fuck out, Jules, this shit happens.

    Jules: Wrong! Wrong, this shit doesn't just happen.

    Vincent: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?

    Jules: We should be fuckin' dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!

    Vincent: Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now?

  • Jules: Hey, that's Kool and the Gang.

  • Fabienne: Where's my Honda?

    Butch: Sorry, baby, but I had to crash that Honda.

  • Jules: You remember Antoine Roccamora, half black, half Samoan, used to call him Tony Rocky Horror?

    Vincent: Yeah, maybe. Fat, right?

    Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What's the nigger gonna do? He's Samoan.

  • Esmeralda: So what does it feel like to kill a man with your bare hands? It's a topic I'm very interested in.

  • Trudi: You know how they use that gun to pierce your ears? They don't use that when they pierce your nipples, do they?

    Jody: Forget that gun. That gun goes against the entire idea behind piercing. All of my piercings, sixteen places on my body, all of them done with a needle. Five in each ear, one through the nipple on my left breast, one through my right nostril, one through my left eyebrow, one in my lip, one in my clit... and I wear a stud in my tongue.

    Vincent: Excuse me, but I was just wondering... why do you wear a stud in your tongue?

    Jody: It's a sex thing. It helps fellatio.

    Lance: Don Vincenzo. Step into my office?

  • Lance: You are not bringing this fucked-up bitch into my house!

    Vincent: This fucked-up bitch is Marsellus Wallace's wife! Do you know who Marsellus Wallace is? Do you? If she croaks on me, I'm a fuckin' greasespot!

  • Butch: Did you bring the watch?

    Fabienne: I believe so.

    Butch: You believe so? You "believe" so? What the fuck does that mean? You either did, or you didn't!

    Fabienne: Then I did.

    Butch: Are you sure?

    Fabienne: [shakes her head] No...

    [a pause]

    Butch: [explodes into a rampage] Fuck! Motherfucking shit! Do you fucking know how fucking stupid you are? Shit! Fuck!

    [he calms down just as quickly and suddenly as he started]

    Butch: It's not your fault.

  • Paul: Hey, my name's Paul and this shit's between y'all.

  • Lance: If you're all right, then say something.

    Mia: Something.

  • The Wolf: Strip.

    Jules: All the way?

    The Wolf: To your bare ass.

    Vincent: Is this necessary?

    The Wolf: Yes. You know what you guys look like?

    Jules: What?

    The Wolf: Like a couple of guys who just blew off somebody's head!

    [to Jimmie]

    The Wolf: Now Jimmie, hand them the soap.

    [Jimmie gives Jules and Vincent each a bar of soap]

    The Wolf: Well, now I'm sure you've all been to county.

    [sprays them both with hose]

  • Jules: You know the shows on TV?

    Vincent: I don't watch TV.

    Jules: Yeah, but, you are aware that there's an invention called television, and on this invention they show shows, right?

  • Butch: Where's my watch?

    Fabienne: It's there.

    Butch: No it's not.

    Fabienne: It should be.

    Butch: Yes, it most definitely should be but it's not here now, so where the fuck is it?

  • Vincent: Remember, I just got back from Amsterdam.

    Lance: Am I a nigger? Are we in Inglewood? No... You're in my home. White people who know the difference between good shit and bad shit, this is the house they come to. Now, my shit, I'll take the Pepsi challenge with that Amsterdam shit, any day of the fuckin' week.

    Vincent: That's a bold statement.

    Lance: This ain't Amsterdam, Vince. This is a sellers market. Coke is fucking dead as... dead. Heroin, it's coming back in a big fucking way.

  • Mia: I have to go powder my nose.

  • The Wolf: Maybe I can give you guys a ride. Where do you live?

    Vincent: Redondo Beach.

    Jules: Inglewood.

    The Wolf: In your future... I see a cab ride. Move out of the sticks, gentlemen.

  • Mia: Don't you just love it when you come back from the bathroom and find your food waiting for you?

    Vincent: We're lucky we got anything at all. I don't think Buddy Holly's much of a waiter.

  • Jules: Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?

    Brett: No.

    Jules: Tell him, Vincent.

    Vincent: Royale with cheese.

    Jules: Royale with cheese. Do you know why they call it a Royale with cheese?

    Brett: Because of the metric system?

    Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett. You one smart motherfucker.

  • Butch: How was your breakfast?

    Fabienne: It was good...

    Butch: Did you get the pancakes, the blueberry pancakes?

    Fabienne: No, no, they didn't have blueberry pancakes, I had to get buttermilk - are you sure you're okay?

    Butch: Honey, since I left you, this has been without a doubt the single weirdest fucking day of my life! Come on, hop on - I'll tell you all about it.

  • Vincent: I'll have the Douglas Sirk steak, and a vanilla Coke.

    Buddy Holly: How would you like that? Burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell?

    Vincent: Bloody as hell.

  • Lance: Hey, whattya think about Trudi? She ain't got a boyfriend. You wanna hang out, get high?

    Vincent: Which one's Trudi? The one with all the shit in her face?

    Lance: No, that's Jody. That's my wife.

  • Lance: Still got your Malibu?

    Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some fucker did the other day?

    Lance: What?

    Vincent: Fucking keyed it.

    Lance: Oh, man, that's fucked up.

    Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it.

    Lance: They should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.

    Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.

    Lance: What a fucker!

    Vincent: What's more chickenshit than fucking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fuck with another man's vehicle.

    Lance: You don't do it.

    Vincent: It's just against the rules.

  • Mia: I'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

  • Vincent: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home and have a heart attack.

  • Mia: Vincent, do you still want to hear my Fox Force Five joke?

    Vincent: Sure, but I think I'm still a little too petrified to laugh.

    Mia: No, you wont laugh, 'cus it's not funny. But if you still wanna hear it, I'll tell it.

    Vincent: I can't wait.

    Mia: Three tomatoes are walking down the street- a poppa tomato, a momma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes over to the baby tomato, and smooshes him... and says, Catch up.

  • Butch: I'll be back before you can say Blueberry pie.

    Fabienne: Blueberry pie.

    Butch: Okay, maybe not that fast. But pretty fast, alright?

  • Jules: My name's Pitt, and your ass ain't talkin' your way outta this shit.

  • Jules: I don't know why, I just thought he'd be European or something because he...

    Vincent: Yeah, man, he's about as European as fuckin' English Bob.

  • Vincent: Get her the shot!

    Lance: I will if you let me.

    Vincent: I ain't fuckin' stopping you!

    Lance: Well, then quit talking to me, talk to her.

    Vincent: Get the shot!

  • [first lines]

    Pumpkin: Forget it. Too risky. I'm through doing that shit.

    Yolanda: You always say that. That same thing every time, "I'm through, never again, too dangerous".

    Pumpkin: I know that's what I always say. I'm always right, too.

    Yolanda: But you forget about it in a day or two.

    Pumpkin: Yeah, well the days of me forgetting are over, and the days of me remembering have just begun.

  • [last lines]

    Vincent: I think we should be leaving now.

    Jules: Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

  • Jules: I'll just walk the earth.

    Vincent: What'cha mean walk the earth?

    Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."

  • Fabienne: I was looking at myself in the mirror.

    Butch: Uh-huh?

    Fabienne: I wish I had a pot.

    Butch: You were lookin' in the mirror and you wish you had some pot?

    Fabienne: A pot. A pot belly. Pot bellies are sexy.

    Butch: Well you should be happy, 'cause you do.

    Fabienne: Shut up, Fatso! I don't have a pot! I have a bit of a tummy, like Madonna when she did "Lucky Star," it's not the same thing.

    Butch: I didn't realize there was a difference between a tummy and a pot belly.

    Fabienne: The difference is huge.

    Butch: You want me to have a pot?

    Fabienne: No. Pot bellies make a man look either oafish, or like a gorilla. But on a woman, a pot belly is very sexy. The rest of you is normal. Normal face, normal legs, normal hips, normal ass, but with a big, perfectly round pot belly. If I had one, I'd wear a tee-shirt two sizes too small to accentuate it.

    Butch: You think guys would find that attractive?

    Fabienne: I don't give a damn what men find attractive. It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye is seldom the same.

  • Butch: [driving back to his apartment after Fabienne forgot to get his watch]

    [shouts]

    Butch: Shit! Of all the fucking things she could forget, she forgets my father's watch!

  • Jules: Bitch, be cool!

  • Jules: Look, do you wanna play blindman? Go walk with the shepherd. But me, my eyes are wide fucking open.

    Vincent: What the fuck does that mean?

    Jules: It means, that's it for me. From here on in you can consider my ass retired.

    Vincent: Jesus Christ.

    Jules: Don't blaspheme.

    Vincent: Goddamn.

    Jules: I said don't do that!

  • Jules: Yolanda? How we doin, baby?

    Yolanda: I gotta go pee! I want to go home.

    Jules: Just hang in there, baby. You're doing' great. Ringo's proud of you and so am I. It's almost over. Tell her you're proud of her.

    Pumpkin: I'm proud of you, Honey Bunny.

    Yolanda: I love you!

    Pumpkin: I love you too, Honey Bunny.

  • Jules: So, tell me again about the hashbars?

    Vincent: Okay, what you wanna know?

    Jules: Hash is legal there in Amsterdam, right?

    Vincent: Yeah, it's legal, but it ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean, you can't just walk into a restaurant, roll a joint and start puffing away. You're only supposed to smoke in your home or certain designated places.

    Jules: And those are hashbars?

    Vincent: Yeah. It breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and, if you're the proprietor of a hash bar, it's legal to sell it. It's still illegal to carry it around, but that doesn't really matter 'cause... get a load of this: if you get stopped by the cops in Amsterdam, it's illegal for them to search you. I mean, that's a right the cops in Amsterdam don't have.

    Jules: [laughing] I'm going, that's all there is to it, I'm fuckin' going.

    Vincent: Yeah baby, you'd dig it the most.

Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

  • Marsellus: You came close but you never made it. And if you were gonna make it, you would have made it before now.

  • Marsellus: I think you gonna find... when all this shit is over and done... I think you're gonna find yourself one smilin' motherfucker. The thing is, Butch, right now... you got ability. But painful as it may be, ability don't last. And your days are just about over. Now, that's a hard motherfuckin' fact of life. But that's a fact of life your ass is gonna have to get realistic about. You see, this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to Vinegar... it does. If you mean it gets better with age... it don't. Besides, Butch, how many fights you think you got in you anyway? Hm? Two? Boxers don't have an old-timers' day. You came close, but you never made it. And if you were gonna make it, you would have made it before now.

    [handles Butch an envelope with money]

    Butch: [stretches out his hand for the envelope]

    Marsellus: [pulls the envelope back] You my nigger?

    Butch: Certainly appears so.

    [grabs the envelope, waits for Marsellus to release it and hides it bosom]

  • Lance: Am I a nigger? Are you in Inglewood? No. You're in my house. White people who know the difference between good shit and bad shit, this is the house they come to. My shit, I'll take the Pepsi Challenge with Amsterdam shit any ol' day of the fuckin' week.

    Vincent: That's a bold statement.

    Lance: This ain't Amsterdam, Vince. This is a seller's market. Coke's fucking dead as disco. Heroin's comin' back in a big fuckin' way. It's this whole seventies retro. Bell bottoms, heroin, they're hot as Hell.

  • Jules: There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

  • Jules: Why you so interested in the big man's wife?

    Vincent: He's goin' out of town, Florida. And he asked me if I'd take care of her while he's gone.

    Jules: [motioning a gun to the head] Take care of her?

    Vincent: No, man. Just take her out. Show her a good time. Make sure she don't get lonely.

    Jules: You're gonna be taking Mia Wallace out on a date?

    Vincent: It is not a date. It's just like if you were gonna take your buddy's wife to a movie or somethin'. It's just good company, that's all.

    [Jules looks at him as though to say, 'Really?']

    Vincent: It's not a date. It's definitely not a date.

  • Mia: So did you think of something to say?

    Vincent: Actually, I did. However, you seem like a really nice person, and I... I don't want to offend you.

    Mia: Oooh! This doesn't sound like the usual mindless boring getting to know you chit chat. It sounds like you actually have something to say.

    Vincent: Well, well, I do, I do. But you have to promise not to be offended.

    Mia: No. No, no. You can't promise something like that. I have no idea what you're going to ask me. So you can go ahead and ask me what you're going to ask me, and my natural response could be to get offended, then through no fault of my own I would have broken my promise.

    Vincent: Let's just forget it.

    Mia: That's an impossibility. Trying to forget anything as intriguing as this would be an exercise in futility.

    Vincent: Is that a fact?

    Mia: Besides, isn't it more, ah, exciting when you don't have permission?

    Vincent: Alright, alright. Welp. Here goes. Uh. What did you, um, think about what happened to Antoine?

    Mia: Who's Antoine?

    Vincent: Tony Rocky Horror. You know him.

    Mia: Fell out of a window.

    Vincent: Hmm, hmm. Well, that is one way to say it. Another way to say it would be that he was thrown out. Another way would be that he was thrown out by Marcellus. And yet even another way to say it was that he was thrown out of the window by Marcellus because of you.

    Mia: Is that a fact?

    Vincent: No, no. It's not a fact, it's just what I heard. It's just what I heard.

    Mia: Who told you?

    Vincent: They.

    Mia: They talk a lot, don't they?

    Vincent: They certainly do. They certainly do.

    Mia: Don't be shy, Vincent, what else did they say?

    Vincent: Well, I'm, I'm not shy, um...

    Mia: Did it involve the F word?

    Vincent: No. No, no. They just said that Antoine had given you a foot massage.

    Mia: And?

    Vincent: And nothing, nothing. That's it.

    Mia: You heard Marcellus threw Tony Rocky Horror out a four story window for giving me a foot massage? And you believe that?

    Vincent: [Chuckles] Well, I mean, at the time I was told, it sounded reasonable.

    Mia: Marcellus throwing Tony out of a four story window for massaging my feet seem reasonable?

    Vincent: No, it seemed excessive, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I mean, I understand Marcellus is very, very protective of you.

    Mia: A husband being protective of his wife is one thing, a husband almost killing another man for touching his wife's feet is something else.

    Vincent: But did it happen?

    Mia: The only thing Antoine ever touched of mine was my hand, when he shook it, at my wedding.

    Vincent: Really?

    Mia: Truth is, nobody knows why Marcellus threw Tony out of that four story window except Marcellus and Tony. When you little scamps get together, you're worse than a sewing circle.

  • [Lance is pointing out different types of heroin to Vincent]

    Lance: Now this is Panda, from Mexico. Very good stuff.

    [moving down the line]

    Lance: And that's Bava -- different, but equally good.

    [coming to yet a third bag]

    Lance: And that is Choco.

    [pronounced "Choke-O"]

    Lance: From the Hartz Mountains of Germany. Now the first two are the same, three hundred a gram -- those are friend prices. But this one...

    [pointing to the Choco]

    Lance: This one's a little more expensive. It's five hundred. But when you shoot it, you *will know* where that extra money went. Nothing wrong with the first two. It's real, real, real, good shit. But this one?

    [referring to the Choco]

    Lance: It's a fuckin' madman.

  • Jules: [about Antoine] Well, Marsellus fucked him up good. Word around the campfire was it was on account of Marsellus' wife.

    Vincent: So what'd he do, fuck her?

    Jules: No, no, nothing that bad.

    Vincent: Well, what then?

    Jules: Gave her a foot massage.

    Vincent: Foot massage? That's it? What did Marsellus do?

    Jules: Sent a couple cats over to his place, they took him out on his patio, threw his ass over the balcony. There was a little house at the bottom, enclosed in glass, like a greenhouse. Nigger fell through that. Since then he's kind of developed a speech impediment.

    Vincent: That's a damn shame.

    Jules: Mmm.
